Hi folks,

I'm working on a document with charts throughout, and my editor has
made a request that I'm not sure I can comply with given MS Word's
capabilities.

Legends in charts; I have chart legends with 5-6 labels where some
labels occupy a single line and some are longer and hence occupy 2
lines. Word appears to automatically space chart legends so that the
legend keys (the little colored squares) are equidistant. This means
that there looks like there's a line space below the one-line entries.
Is there any way to shift the legend entries around so that this
illusion disappears?

Any and all suggestions welcome. :)

HI Fruzzle,

What version of Word? Office 2007 uses a different chart/graph approach as the default.

Hi Bob,

It's Word 2003.
